The only outrage over the actual contract was by people who don't know anything.
He had zero. ZERO other coaching offers.
He had no leverage to negotiate any buyout much less the one he got. And he has a lengthy contract that should be enough for recruiting purposes, if he does well like he says the buyout shouldn’t even be in play. A buyout only pays out if you suck.
You think because other contracts have buyouts that it’s just standard. But every other coach has leverage. Tell me what leverage Orgeron had?

He didn't need any. It was a basic fricking contract. Whether he should've gotten the job is another argument (he should not have) but once he got it, that's a pretty standard deal in the SEC, although way on the cheap side (as it should've been).
These contacts attempt to give legitimacy and stability in a very PR/media sensitive business. You don't cut the nuts off of your new coach by giving him no buyout. It's a bad look.
It's irrelevant anyway. Not sure why you are obsessed about it.

Orgeron accepted LSU job 2 days after the regular season ended. How many openings do you think there were? How do you know he wasn't being considered for one of the few openings? How do you know he wouldn't have been considered had he not quickly accepted the LSU job?
A 'lengthy contract" doesn't mean shite if there isn't a buyout or guaranteed money to make it less attractive for the employer to terminate the contract. Orgeron's ability to recruit is predicated on his relationship with potential players and that he will continue to be the coach after they enroll. LSU basically had to give Orgeron leverage in order to negate other schools from using that issue as a negative recruiting tool. Hell, LSU was on a much bigger hook with Miles and that uncertainty cost us recruits.
